UN asked to intervene in Dubai human rights abuses against American tech entrepreneur

The family of a Californian tech entrepreneur has asked the UN to step in and investigate the arbitrary detention, assault and torture that he has endured since his arrest in Dubai four months ago.

The United Nations has been presented with evidence that US citizen, Edel Hsieh, has been arbitrarily detained in Dubai’s desert prison after a court appointed expert confirmed he was innocent of the allegations against him.
